I downloaded and installed Easy Debian. Open Office on the N900 is kind of crazy awesome. But where is the Gimp? I have read that it is included, and when I search in Synaptic it indicates it is installed. So, how do I open it?
Big apologies if this is a dumb question.

You should have an icon for 'Debian LXDE' - click on this and it'll load a more usable (for GIMP) window manager.
Gimp should be in the menu there.

I thought I had scoured the menus already, going over them again I found it. Thanks, and apologies for the stoopid.

I am trying to have a direct access to gimp without having to load the window manager. Why is this already done for ooo but not for the gimp? (I mean, is there a special reason??)

Yes, GIMP uses more windows, that are all opened at the same time, one next/over the other. That's not possible with the normal window-manager of Maemo

But if you run the "debbie gimp" from the terminal or from the desktop shortcut it runs ok. I'm just asking why the desktop shortcut is not already done as in the case of ooo (not because users cannot do this, but to see if there is a special reason not to include this "feature", since it is trivial to do)

Using Gimp with the normal n900 window-manager makes some of the menu options that bring up dialogs unusable because you can't move them around, so you can't exit them.
